As we started our descent into Grand Forks Airport, we noted the ND topography—all laid out in perfect patchwork of squares, each dotted with a little farm or two.
Rebecca got right to work showing us the sights and sounds of her native area, including her cow-calling technique.
Apparently it works…
Having settled down for a lovely meal at the home of Rebecca’s sister, Karen, we were unaware that a tornado had touched down only a few miles away in Northwood, Rebecca’s hometown. The hail storm did make us wonder if we would make it through the night.
We surveyed the damage around Northwood, which included a damaged silo, a toppled trailer park, several ripped-up buildings, and dozens of cars mangled like pieces of foil.
We spent the afternoon packing up Rebecca’s things, and tomorrow we pick up the Penske truck and take our adventure on the road!
